Melt the white chocolate – Heat in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until smooth, stirring in between intervals. Pour into a tall cup for dipping.

Dip the pretzels – Tilt the cup at a 90° angle and dip each pretzel rod about ¾ of the way in. Gently scrape off excess chocolate and place on parchment paper. Let them harden for 8–10 minutes.

Make the tops of the North Poles – Add leftover melted white chocolate to a piping bag. Reheat briefly if needed. Pipe into the largest circle of your pearl mold and freeze for 3 minutes. Repeat until you have one for each pretzel.

Add the red stripes – Melt red chocolate, transfer to a piping bag, and snip a small hole. Pipe short diagonal lines from top to bottom to create candy cane-style stripes. Let dry for 6 minutes.

Make the bows – Fill the bow mold with red chocolate and freeze for 3 minutes. Repeat until you have enough for all your pretzels.

Assemble the poles – Pipe a small dot of melted chocolate at the top of each pretzel to attach the round pearl for the top of the North Pole. Pipe another dot just below to attach the red bow. Let dry for 3 minutes.
